對酒
Language: Chinese (中文)
勸君莫拒杯， 春風笑人來。 桃李如舊識， 傾花向我開。 流鶯啼碧樹， 明月窺金罍。 昨日朱顏子， 今日白髮催。 棘生石虎殿， 鹿走姑蘇臺。 自古帝王宅， 城闕閉黃埃。 君若不飲酒， 昔人安在哉。
Confirmed with Peng Dingqiu 彭定求 (ed.). Quan Tang shi 全唐詩 (Complete Tang Poems), Beijing: Zhonghua shuju, 1985.

Singende Gespenster
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Chinese (中文)
Herunter mit dem Jadekrug In einem Zug! Licht blüht an allen Wegen. Ich habe nimmermehr genug. Ich bin ein Pflug. Ein Wolkenpflug. Und Blumen springen mir entgegen. Die Lippe lallt. Die Wimper wacht. Es öffnet sacht Sich über mir ein Fenster. Ein Vogelschwarm schwebt durch die Nacht Durch unsrer Herzen dunkle Nacht Wie singende Gespenster.
